Yū Otosaka

How could I possibly pull this off?! This isn't something one person can do alone! Especially not me, a lowlife who cheated to get good grades! A good-for-nothing who thinks about nothing but himself! A vain loser whose only desire is for others to see him in a good light! That's who I am!

Summary

Yū Otosaka (乙坂 有宇, Otosaka Yū) is the male protagonist of the story, and a first-year transfer student. He uses his powers to cheat his way through school, but when his path crosses with Nao Tomori, the fate of all power-users is exposed.

He has the ability to temporarily possess a person for about 5 seconds. It is later revealed that he can steal the abilities of an ability-user he possesses. Towards the end of the series he becomes widely known (and feared) as the One-eyed Grim Reaper.

Durability:Wall level (Can take hits from Nao, who can harm Jōjirō) | Wall level | Wall level (Can survive the force of his own crashes), Higher with Barriers (Blocked bullets and a RPG without a scratch)

Range: Several dozens of meters with various abilities, varies with Collapse, Planetary with Locating Ability Wielders ability

Standard Equipment: None Notable

Intelligence: Above Average (Despite being academically poor, Yuu seems to be rather smart in the use of his abilities, having good control of all of them)

Weaknesses: Arrogant and reckless. Possession only last for 5 seconds and he has to stay unconscious for exactly 5 seconds when possessing someone, leaving him exposed. Unaware of his true power to loot abilites | Not truly combat experienced (Same weaknesses with Possession, Looting also requires 5 seconds and it only works on genetical abilities), Collapse is controlled by the user's negative emotions, such as fear, pain and/or rage (Albeit he showed some degree of control) | Due to having looted so many abilities, Yuu has partially lost his sanity and most of his memories. Cocky and sadistic as The Grimm Reaper. Can't rewind time due to his injured eye (Although he could heal it at any moment). Would lose his abilities at the age of 18. Some of his abilities have particular weaknesses (Possession/Looting: Yuu has to stay unconscious for exactly 5 seconds when possessing someone, leaving him exposed; Time-Leap: Will leave the user blind if used repetitively; Collapse: Controlled by the user's negative emotions, such as fear, pain and/or rage; Imperfect Invisibility: Limited to one target at a time; Fast Movement: Unable to control his own moves or even properly react; Illnesses/Sicknesses Acceleration: The user has to make physical contact; Location: limited to maps)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Yuu's eye during the usage of his superpower.

Yū has the ability to take over someone's body for approximately 5 seconds. He often uses this power to view honors students during their exams to memorize and steal their answers. While in use, his irises becomes lime green and his pupils becomes light teal. However, his body slumps into unconsciousness while this ability is in use. Recently, it has also been discovered he can use other abilities whilst controlling their bodies. However, the five seconds time limit still applies. As of Episode 10, it is revealed Yū's true ability is "Plunder" which takes someone's ability away from them. It's unsure if he can give abilities back. He has the abilities of the people he possessed in the past who also had special abilities. It is shown that he can now use telekinesis to move or push and pull light objects, although it's not yet perfect. He might even be able to use thoughtography and be able to float in air, which is yet to be confirmed. He later uses Time-Leap to save Ayumi and uses telekinesis successfully to scare Konishi away. Although he has the ability to time leap, his right eye was damaged in episode 11, so he cannot time-leap anymore as the damage done was permanent. However, he managed to loot an ability that allows him to heal himself/others, implying that he can heal his right eye if he wants to.
